“How long do you think your ‘free state’ will remain free?”
For quite some time. Same as in South Dakota. As word spreads that these states have governors that FIGHT and are populated with people that vote for such governors more freedom lovers will relocate.
The country is deeply divided. Patriots at heart with weak spines that choose to remain in states where they are a small minority because it’s just too hard to move to states where they are welcome are just waiting to be devoured.
We are headed to an inevitable political dissolution. To remain a minority in enemy territory is beyond foolish. It is suicidal.
I certainly hope you are right about those ‘free’ states remaining free.
But a lot of people stay where they are because their hearts and roots and people are there - and the land itself is in their blood and hearts.
The word ‘patriot’ originally comes from a Greek word meaning ‘father’.
If you think it’s a ‘weak heart and weak spine’ that decides to stay where it was born - where all of its love and connections are - and stand and fight, then you’re pretty foolish yourself and lacking cognizance of the varied reasons why some people decide to stay put and stick it out.
But I guess it’s just a lot easier to simply run away...
